necessity requested in Docket Nos.
CP05–45–001 and CP06–401–001.
TransColorado seeks to substitute a new

excluding the last three digits, in the

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this Project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceeding for this project should
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission’s Rules
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations
under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10) by the
comment date, below. A person
obtaining party status will be placed on
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the service list maintained by the
Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by
the applicant and by all other parties. A
party must submit 14 copies of filings
made with the Commission and must
mail a copy to the applicant and to
every other party in the proceeding.
Only parties to the proceeding can ask
for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene to have comments considered.
The second way to participate is by
filing with the Secretary of the
Commission, as soon as possible, an
original and two copies of comments in
support of or in opposition to this
project and/or associated pipeline. The
Commission will consider these
comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the
filing of a comment alone will not serve
to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. The Commission’s rules
require that persons filing comments in
opposition to the project provide copies
of their protests only to the party or
parties directly involved in the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
Protests and interventions may be
filed electronically via the Internet in
lieu of paper; see 18 CFR
285.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site under the
‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings.
If the Commission decides to set the
application for a formal hearing before
an Administrative Law Judge, the
Commission will issue another notice
describing that process. At the end of
the Commission’s review process, a
final Commission order approving or
denying a certificate will be issued.
